Employees of an Orange County, CA newspaper recently settled a lawsuit against their employer, the newspaper, for improperly categorizing them as independent contractors. The employees alleged that the newspaper mis-categorized them in order to avoid paying the employees overtime pay and other required fees. As a result, the employees were awarded $22 million in damages.

In California, your employer is required by law to pay you according to CA labor guidelines. An experienced employment lawyer can go over these specific rules with you. Additionally, your employer cannot cheat the system by not paying you the wages you are lawfully owed by unfairly and unlawfully mis-categorizing the status of your employment (part time vs. full time, employee vs. independent contractor).
